I have been very busy and unable to write articles for the two previous days, but I got right to my computer as soon as I got home today, and got to writing. I’ve cranked out my three articles, so my goal for today has been accomplished.
Now, I want to go back and write six additional articles, to make up for the past 2 days, and keep up to pace with my plans. My thought is that after a few months of consistent, persistent effort, the rewards of bum marketing will begin to really come in. If I stick to my current goal of 3 articles a day for the 5 weekdays, and 10 for each weekend day, then that is 35 articles a week, or a little more than 420 articles after 3 months. I believe that, at that point, I will be seeing some consistent daily earnings. We shall see.
I have been asked several times to share which tools I use for keyword research, so I thought that I would do so. I don’t use anything that costs money.
Niche Bot Classic – I’m not entirely sure how accurate the search count numbers are, and you should note that they are per year, rather that per month. What I really like about this tool is that they show you the amount of optimized competition that you have for each keyword, and it generates 10 related searches for each query that you put in. I think its great for gauging how well keywords are relatively to each other, and then I personally research the keywords with some additional research before I begin writing the articles.
Nichetaxi.com – I don’t use this one very often, but I thought it was worth mentioning since it is a free tool, and can help you out. You type in a keyword (or phrase), it gives you some monthly search volume numbers, some related phrases, and a cabbie recommends whether or not the keyword is suitable for developing it as a niche.
Google Adwords Keyword Tool – Great tool from Google. You plug in a keyword, it spits out a ton of related search terms, and a bar indicates the search volume and advertiser competition. This tool is great for generating some keyword ideas, but then you must back it up with additional research, such as checking out the optimized competition, and its actual numerical search volume.
Pixelfast Overture Tool – It looks like Yahoo is trying to phase out the Overture keyword tool, because it is becoming unbearably slow, and often times does not work at all. This tool uses Overture’s search volume data, which it shows in one column, and it shows you the advertiser’s listing for that keyword in the other column.
My Clickbank earnings for this pay period stand just short of $30 (I don’t want to give the exact amount, and give up my product), from the sale that I made yesterday.
